Final Project

Finally, after 3 months of all-day Saturday classes, the final project is finished!

Let us celebrate a successful Web Development "Intensive" (quite the understatement, really) by having some octopus balls and Japanese pancakes!

Class 10 Optional Homework: Comment Functionality to Message Board

**UPDATE 5/3/10**: Added version with pagination here.

This assignment worked out nicely, since I have a similar page that is part of my final class project.

For more fancy effects (to the extent that my non-artistic self can make it fancy), I used JQuery to show/hide both the existing Comments and the Comment Submission form (instead of sending the user to a different screen). Please give me some comments!!!

To more interesting topics. After 9 weeks of hitting new lunch spots in the East Village, and mindful that all-day Saturday classes were about to end, we decided to start re-visiting our favorite ones. Porchetta was a unanimous choice for a return visit, and this time a new recruit Janaina came with us to savor the crackling pork goodness.

I absolutely love this picture. In addition to the huge slabs of appetizing meat behind the glass display case (I wonder if you can break the glass and run off with the entire thing, and eat that over a week...hmmm), you see reflections of the building across the street and the Porchetta logo. Oh, and the quirky counter girl.
